![]() Development of the analytical tools used to study the sources, sinks, and fluxes of the global Si cycle (e.g., elemental and stable isotope ratio data for Ge, Si, Zn, etc.) have recently led to major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms and processes that constrain the cycling of Si in the modern environment and in the past. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary productivity and carbon cycling on the continents and in the oceans. Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is an important nutrient in the ocean.
